Who says your vote doesn't count? All of the attention may have been on the state marijuana issue Tuesday, but some local races were very close - even in Dayton. In one local race, just one vote separates the candidates.
Here's something that rarely happens in Dayton. Endorsed Democratic candidate Chris Shaw is leading Darryl Fairchild in the City Commission race by just. 0.45% of the vote. Shaw has 9,622 votes to 9,453 for Fairchild.
Dayton's School Board race was also one of the closest in the region. Three seats are open. Robert Walker has 25.83% of the vote, Sheila Taylor, 25.75%, John McManus, 24.32 and Nancy Nerny, 24.06%. The difference between Nerny and McManus is just 123 votes.
Clay Township
Also in Montgomery County, the race for Clay twp. Trustee is close. Jefferey Requarth has 1,193 votes to 1,235 for Dale Winner.
Perry Township
In Perry Twp. in western Montgomery County, Dale Seim has just 20 votes more than his challenger in the trustee race Mark Burnett, it's 820-800.
Clark County
Green Twp. additional 1.5 mill levy for roads is tight 530 yes to 521 no.
Darke County
The race for Greenville Twp. Trustee as down to single digits. Matthew Kolb has 1,604, Jeremy Edger has 1,595 and Geoff Surber has 1,530.
In Shelby County 3 seats were up for Sidney City Council and the race for the third seat is only separated by 0.58% of the vote. Janet Born has 1,988 votes and Rufus Sims has 1,933.
St. Paris
One vote is all that's separating two candidates for St. Paris Village Council in Champaign County. Terry Ervin II has 288 votes and Niven Jester has 287. Tyler Adkins won the other seat 2ih 331 votes.
Preble County
In the Preble County Village of Camden, the race for mayor is down to 7 votes. Lisa Moss has 243 votes and Dan Michael has 236.
Greene County
Who says your vote doesn't count? In the village of Spring Valley in Greene County the race for clerk is up to two votes. Gail Harris has 61 votes and Karen Penry has 63.
Four Franklin Council seats were up Tuesday night and the difference between the person in 4th and the person in 5th is one vote. Jason Faulkner has 1,044 votes and Debbie Fouts has 1,043.
Franklin Township
Also in Warren County, only 10 votes separate the candidates for Franklin Twp. trustee. Brian Morris has 3,394 votes and Greg Sample has 3,384.
Franklin School Board
Franklin's School Board also has one of the closest races in the area. Andrew Fleming has 2,140 votes and Lori Raleigh has 2,165 for the second seat on the board. Robyn Donisi came in first with 2,224.
Piqua has a weird system for electing its mayor, and the closeness of the race just adds to it. Kathryn Hinds, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Piqua, and Gary Michael Koenig, a civil engineer, ran for the 5th Ward seat on the city commission as well as mayor. The city charter requires the mayor to first be elected to a ward seat. The result Tuesday night was close enough to require a recount for the ward seat.
Unofficial returns from the Miami County Board of Elections showed Hinds with 50.1 percent and Koenig with 49.9 percent of the vote in the race for the 5th Ward. The vote for mayor was 48.9 percent for Hinds and 51.07 percent for Koenig.
Because the difference in the vote for the ward seat is less than one half of one percent, there will be a recount.
At this time, Hinds won the ward seat so she would be the mayor. Both she and Koenig said they would look forward to the recount.

Go to Making Light's front page.
Forward to next post: Underrated Bloggers of Our Times (#2 in a series)
Subscribe (via RSS) to this post's comment thread. (What does this mean? Here's a quick introduction.)
The Times of London is reporting that as many as five American senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the Bush administration orders an attack on Iran. Good for them, though it won't keep Israel from making a bombing run. (Yeah, I know that's a denial. Check out that closing paragraph, where the Israeli Defense Minister says that western authorities "are anxious to spread the idea that we are planning to attack Iran and so be absolved of the need to do the things we have requested of them.")
The possible resignations reminded me of the military mutinies in Vietnam, which were a major contributor to ending that war. Not that there's a moral equivalence between fragging your commander and peacefully resigning your commission, but I still couldn't help but think of the mutinies. I'd vaguely remembered that the Pentagon had recorded some shockingly large number of mutinous incidents, and was googling around for more info, when I found this old Vietnam-era joke (credited to 1,001 Ways to Beat the Draft, by Tuli Kupferburg). A GI is in the hospital, explaining how he got wounded:
I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout "To hell with Ho Chi Minh!" If he shoots, he's unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled "To hell with Ho Chi Minh!" and he yelled back, "To hell with President Johnson!" We were shaking hands when a truck hit us.
If you were updating this joke for Iraq, you'd swap Bush in for Johnson, but who would you swap in for Ho Chi Minh? Muqtada al-Sadr? Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? Ahmed Chalabi? There are so many factions in Iraq that you need an entirely different base joke, probably the one with people on a falling airplane without enough parachutes.
In fact, there's a sort of meta-joke going on there. You swap in Osama bin Laden for Ho Chi Minh, and if the guy hearing the joke laughs, he probably gets all his news from Fox and Instapundit, and has no idea of what's going on in Iraq. If he complains that the situation's more complicated than that, and there are a bunch of rival factions in Iraq, then you've got a basis for rational discussion. And then you get hit by a truck.
Welcome to our newest front-page poster.
Welcome, Avram! I saw that item, and sent up a little cheer -- before realizing that given the complete and utter insanity of the current administration, the resignation of 5 senior military commanders not only wouldn't slow them down, they would attempt to spin it as a good thing, because those 5 commanders were not really on board with the War on Terrah, and therefore we were better off without them.
"We" does not mean "you" and "me," of course; it means the world in George Bush's head.
Thanks for inviting me, Patrick.
(Lest anyone be confused, I did too.)
And you too, Teresa.
(Now I feel like I'm artificially inflating my comment count.)
Note to self: Only tell joke when standing on a sidewalk where I can see oncoming traffic.

#5: If you exceed a certain comment count, you get your choice of a Proctor-Silex five-speed blender or a set of nesting LappWare, the plastic storage containers for reindeer herders.
Your citation for the joke is correct. I have a copy of the book.
US generals 'will quit' if Bush orders Iran attack
I'm happy to hear a number of generals are standing up to Caligula's orders, but I am a bit depressed to hear that an attack on Iran is so likely that a bunch of Generals had to decide that they'd resign rather than conform to an order that would surely kill the United States military.
Little Boots.
Little Bush. (i.e. Bush Jr.)
long ago lost his mind.
Take a look at the comments in the link to the Times in Avram's post. Pretty gruesome.
I have a copy of that book, too (somewhere), but the only one I remember is, "A Ford Sedan up your ass."
Oh, I forgot to say, "Congrats, Avram"
Lizzy @2: War on Terrah
I realize that that's probably supposed to be an affectation of "terror," but it's the first time I made the connection that the current Administration is actually waging a War on Terra....
I just walked out of my favorite two-day-a-week chat because someone believes the repugs are gods and should not be criticized.
He said he'd rather have a president fired because of a blow job than one fired because he's lying and wasting human lives dithering in a place we don't need to be at war with.
Thanks for listening.
Hi, sweetie!
#17: There's a filk of "God lives on Terra" in this, I'm sure.
#6 "a set of nesting LappWare, the plastic storage containers for reindeer herders"
...which will store your reindeer silently, very fast, and altogether elsewhere.
Congratulations, Avram, on becoming a front-page poster. Excellent post. Horrible situation.
According to Juan Cole:
Late Saturday, the US Air Force launched a series of bombing raids on southeast Baghdad. This is absolutely shameful, that the US is bombing from the air a civilian city that it militarily occupies. You can't possibly do that without killing innocent civilians, as at Ramadi the other day. It is a war crime. US citizens should protest and write their congressional representatives. It is also the worst possible counter-insurgency tactic anyone could ever have imagined. You bomb people, they hate you. The bombing appears to have knocked out what little electricity some parts of Baghdad were still getting.
Can't we stop now? Please?
#21: "Can't we stop now? Please?"
[guy who writes into the paper who I want to smack with the paper]
You want all those soldiers to have died and had their limbs blown off for nothing? That's just what they want.
[/guy who writes into the paper who I want to smack with the paper]
Lizzy@14... oh, I am so sorry I read those comments.
Grats on yer new digs, Avram!
...and the barman says, "If you know's of a better 'ole, go to it!"
I like Bob Goldthwait's take on it:
There's only one way to tell if that's a U.S. soldier, or an Iraqi soldier:
"Van Halen sucks!"
"Old Van Halen or new Van Halen?"
"It's OK, he's one of ours. He's not down with the Van Hagar."
credited to 1,001 Ways to Beat the Draft, by Tuli Kupferburg
Oh, man. I wish I still had my copy. Lost it in one transcontinental move or another.
And welcome, Avram!
#14: Many of the comments to the Times article were awful, but I liked one.
"How can we put faith in an article where the writer's do not even know how to spell defense?"
Only one sentence, yet it says so much.
As a British pedant, might I point out that this was a Sunday Times article? It has an almost entirely different staff to the daily Times. Neither of them are very reliable papers. I do believe this story, sort of, though it mentions no names and no sources, because it fits in with everything else we know.
But it is a very great mistake to suppose that a story is likely to be true just because it has appeared in either of these Murdoch papers.

And my brain stuck rigorously to the topic and went for "The war on Tehran"
I thought that the war on terroir was the whole point of the boycott of French wines.
Welcome Avram; this place is starting to feel more and more like old rasseff home.
Meanwhile one nitpick: it's The Times (or in this case, as #29 noticed), The Sunday Times): there is no such paper as The Times of London, unlike say the New York Times.
The Times was the first so saw no need to identify itself further, just like British stamps have no country code to identify them as being British.
I was told that the way to tell an iraqui from a iranian infiltrator was to shout "To hell with George Bush!" If he shoots, he's an iranian infiltrator. So I saw this dude and yelled "To hell with George Bush!" and he yelled back, "You liberal traitor!" and when it turned out to be Jonah Goldberg proudly infiltrating Iraqui society and reporting back all the otherwise unreported good news I suffered a minor stroke.
#32: "Meanwhile one nitpick: it's The Times (or in this case, as #29 noticed), The Sunday Times): there is no such paper as The Times of London, unlike say the New York Times."
That's why Avram referred to it, entirely correctly, as "the Times". The phrase "of London" wasn't italicized.
Like it or not, in America the phrase "the Times" is liable to be taken to mean the New York Times. When referring to the London paper with the similar name, it makes sense to clarify that. It's kind of amusing that Brits and Europeans are evidently so used to correcting Americans on this point of style that they do so even when Americans do it correctly.
#29 Andrew Brown: "I do believe this story, sort of, though it mentions no names and no sources, because it fits in with everything else we know."
That's a dangerous path to start down.
I've been waiting for the shoe to drop for three years, ever since reading 'everyone wants to go to Baghdad, real men want to go to Tehran'. My position is simple. Iraq is a giant tarbaby. Iran would be a giant tarbaby cubed.
If the Shrub does indeed go into Iran, that would be the biggest military blunder in that region since Crassus got his toga handed to him.
And congratulations, Avram.
Damn, the first time I heard that joke, it was "To hell with Hirohito!" and "To hell with Joe DiMaggio!"
Bush seems to pronounce it more like "War on Turrr." (Yes, three r's -- kind of like "Turrur" but with the second syllable swallowed.) Waged by Turrrists.
Doesn't lend itself to the same kinds of confluences, but sets my teeth on edge more than Terra. I find myself shouting "TERR-OR! TERR-OR! And it's effing TERR-OR-ISM anyway!" (I also usually have to repeat "nuclear" to myself several times after listening to Bush talk about nukular weapons. "NEW-CLEEE-AR!") I don't usually get so persnickety about accents and pronounciation in conversation, but...
And hooray for Avram.
I caught a moment of Tony Blair on Radio 4 last week sounding terribly rational about the actions in the war between democracy and terrorism, and flashed to Eddie Izzard and the choice between death or cake. Put it like that: "Death, or cake?" who wouldn't choose cake? Democracy and terrorism, and it all looks easy. Is there a word for that kind of oversimplistic binary thinking?
false dichotomy?
I've seen discussion of plans to invade or attack Iran for a couple of years now, accompanied by increasingly shrill rhetoric from the neocons. But if this story is true (and I have absolutely no idea whether it is), it seems pretty ominous. I don't see a bunch of generals and admirals resigning in protest over a minor disagreement in policy, only over either a major moral disagreement (which this isn't) or a belief that we're making a disasterous blunder.
I just don't see how we could invade Iran, since we're having a hell of a time holding down Iraq. I'm sure we could bomb the hell out of them, even nuke them if necessary. But invade them? With what? And if we bomb them, what will happen to our forces inside Iraq? And will there be some kind of retaliation inside the US? Iran has demonstrated competence in supporting and equipping terrorists in Lebanon and apparently Iraq; can they manage that here, too?
That joke's older than you know. A fragment of graffiti from the 40's BC contains the following story:
Dictus sum me hostilem a amicum clamore "Ad infernum Pompeius" discernere. Si pugnat, hostilis est. Nam virum aspexi et clamavi "Ad infernum Pompeius". Et "Ad infernum Caesar" reclamavit. Dum manus nos agitabamus, occidit nos currus.
(One of these days, Professor Griffith is going to find Making Light and smack me upside the head for my word order.)
abi, that's good, though!
My favourite British-newspaper pedantry is people insisting on calling the Grauniad the Manchester Guardian. Somewhat worse: people insisting on using the Private Eye names for papers at all times, even when no parody is intended.
I think I probably did the former once or twice when I was younger. The latter is probably incurable.
Anyway, on the serious things: you'd think the idea of invading Iran was ridiculous were it not for, um, Iraq. There was some Pentagonresistance to invading Iraq, at least with the plan that we went with, wasn't there? I'm starting to get that late-2002 feeling all over again, although this time it's more faltering. But still, I listen to the BBC news and hear "The US says it has found more Iranian-made weapons in Iraq" in the headlines and think, ah yes, the official news of the day has arrived. It's not even (or only) about the media, but to me just the blatant and persistent attempt to deceive and persuade. I feel like I'm stuck watching people yelling "Remember the Maine!"
The way to tell a hostile Iraqi from a friendly Iraqi? No problem, wait a few more months and there won't be any friendly Iraqis :-(
Hey Avram, congrats!
Yesterday's WashPost had an article on how Rumsfeld is not a good manager.
I have nothing intelligent to contribute to the political discussion today, but congrats to Avram.
Abi #43: No brakes on those chariots, eh?
In my aviation days we referred to it as the War on Tourism. So much of it seemed intended to discourage people from ever leaving home...
23. And the LORD spoke to Jephthah, saying: Surely thine enemies the Moabites love Eglon their king; and the children of Israel love him not; 24. therefore when thou meetest strangers cry "Cursed be Eglon!" and if they be of the tribe of the Moabites, they will come against thee, and I will deliver them into thy hands. 25. And Jephthah went forth to the plain of Ash-ut-rehel, and beheld a man armed, and cried unto him "Cursed be Eglon!" 26. And the man replied "Cursed also be Saul, the king of Israel!" 27. And Jephthah fell upon his neck and embraced him. 28. And the LORD sent a fiery chariot, probably left over from the Book of Kings, and smote Jephthah in the plain of Ash-ut-rehel, and the Moabite with him.
#39, Wendy Bradley: I think maybe the term you (and Greg) are looking for is "false dilemma." It's sometimes called the "either/or fallacy"--basically it means that the speaker or writer has reduced all possible choices in a situation to two, usually two extremes, and offered those as the only possible choices. This, obviously, overlooks all other possible alternatives . . .
Can't remember the Latin term for it, offhand, and don't have time to look it up right now. Maybe someone else can come up with it?
Mary Frances
The fancy term for the Black/White Fallacy is "Bifurcation." (Also known as the Excluded Middle.)
There are only two kinds of people: Ones who understand the law of the excluded middle, and ones who don't. (That's stolen from somewhere on usenet, long ago, but I don't recall where.)
ajay @ 51:
I think that's from 3 Chronicles somewhere?
And eventually they're out of cake, and the choice is reduced to "or death."
#51 Best Old Testament joke I've seen all day...
ajay 51: Listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
They say the way to tell those bastards of the White Hand is to call out "Saruman's an elf-lover!". If they take a swing at you, then you know they're Uruk-Hai, and you can kill 'em. So I was out looking for something decent to eat - a horse, or better, a rider - and I saw this big ugly-looking orc just coming round a rock. I shouted, "Saruman's an elf-lover!" and damned if he didn't yell right back, "Sauron sleeps with Rangers!" We were just thumping each other on the back when we got trampled by an oliphant.
Ah - so that's what the geek test is.
I hereby witness that Neil Willcox has earned two points, by the traditional means.
But what about abi (43) and ajay (51)?
re: 43, 51, et al: I have an old clay tablet here that says ^^vv^<>>>v^vv<><>
...oh, never mind.
Wendy, #39: A friend of mine calls this sort of thing a "dichotomire".
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar. An agent for the country "X" approaches them, and says:
"Our secret service has decided to give one of you ONE of our nuclear warheads, ready for use. But I can only give this nuke to ONE of you. First, each of you tell me: how would you use it?"
Muqtada al-Sadr says: "I would use it to blow up the Saudi oil fields, and throw our enemies into despair and disarray!"
Musab al-Zarqawi says: "Don't listen to him! I would ship the warhead by boat to Washington, and destroy the very heart of the Great Satan!"
Ahmed Chalabi says: "Child's play! Give the warhead to me and I shall wipe out Israel, our most hated common enemy, once and for all."
The other two are duly impressed, change their minds and swear that they too would destroy Israel if they had the nuke.
The agent shakes his head: "If we didn't have Israel, we'd turn on each other. I can't let you destroy our last hope for Arab unity."
The agent walks out. Disappointed, al-Sadr and al-Zarqawi turn on Chalabi: "Why did you make that suggestion?" - "Yeah, you had us fooled! We could've had a nuke, but you ruined everything with your stupid dare!"
Ahmed Chalabi shrugs and says: "When I heard your suggestions I knew I couldn't come up with anything better. So I had to make sure none of us got that nuke."
Muqtada moves to leave, but Musab says: "Wait. We can still get our hands on the nuke. Let's seek out that agent, and tell him we've seen the light and promise to use the nuke on Washington."
"Great plan!" says Ahmed.
"And then we blow up the capital of the Great Satan?" asks Muqtada with childish excitement.
"No, you fool," says Musab. "We go to that agent's country and blow up their OTHER warheads -- so they can't use them on us."
All three toast: "To Arab unity!"
The conversation I want to hear, one way or another, is the one that ends with a Republican and a Democrat shaking hands, bus or no bus.
I'd trade all the points in the game for that.
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar.
Muqtada al-Sadr orders a scotch and soda, raises his glass, and says, "To hell with Osama bin Laden!"
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi asks for Jack and Coke, drains it in one, and says, "To hell with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani!"
Ahmed Chalabi suddenly excuses himself, and heads for the door. "Excuse me, fellows, but my truck is double-parked."
"...and Uncle Sam says, 'Ouch!'"
I keep wondering how much more the administration can abuse our military before the military strikes, or actively mutinies. There's a line, somewhere, somewhere. If crossed, it will be the end of the US as a world power, and possibly the end of US democracy as well. I can only hope the administration will pull back, but it is a slender hope.
I'm old enough to remember the small scale troop mutinies in Vietnam. The word got out, no matter how much the Pentagon tried to hush it up.
I also remember the Chief of Staff of the Army saying later that he wished he had resigned rather than say nothing and let LBJ's plan for escalation in Vietnam go ahead...
... and up on two barstools, Cheney says to Dubya, "What do you call those three guys?". Dubya says "I dunno, what, Dick?", and Cheney says "Anything you like!"
The conversation I want to hear, one way or another, is the one that ends with a Republican and a Democrat shaking hands, bus or no bus.
I'd trade all the points in the game for that.
"And so he yelled 'Lieberman sold out to the GOP!' and the voice in the tall grass yelled 'Yeah! Lieberman sold out to the GOP!' and then Lieberman came running out of the tall grass right up to Bush and they shook hands.
"And as Halliburton won a no-bid contract to provide transit service the year before the bus was twelve miles away on the wrong road with two flats and no gas, but Bush and Lieberman agreed they'd been hit by it just the same."
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar.
It immediately blows up in a big explosion. The three men crawl out of the smoldering wreckage...
Muqtada says: "It wasn't one of my suicide bombers. Was it an Israeli attack?"
Abu Musab says: "My men didn't do this! Maybe the Americans?"
Ahmed brushes the soot off his suit and says: "It was an accident. I thought Dick Cheney was here and set off a bomb I happened to have on me."
The other two are surprised. "What?" - "How could you possibly believe Dick Cheney would frequent THIS bar?"
Ahmed shrugs. "When I entered, I heard someone shout: 'Look, there's that trigger-happy madman!'"
... and al-Sadr says to Chalabi "They serve alcohol here! Why have you brought Abu Musab and me to this sinful place?"
Chalabi shrugs and replies "Well, if I only brought one of you, he'd drink all my whisky."
In celebration of earning points*, here's my other reaction to Abi's brilliant version @59:
I was told that the way to tell a Boskonian from a Galactic Patrolman was to shout "Helmuth is a caricature of a dictator!" If he shoots, he's unfriendly. So I saw this alien and yelled "Helmuth is a caricature of a dictator!" and he yelled back, "Kimball Kinnison is overrated!" We were shaking hands when a Rigellan Groundcar hit us.
* Which I didn't know was possible
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar.
Ahmed Chalabi says: "Guys, as leaders of the righteous it is our duty to be examples to others."
He gives them a reproachful look.
"All right," says Abu Musab. "Bartender, I'll have coffee."
Muqtada slams his fist into the counter and says: "I'll have coffee - strong!"
They get their coffee and then look to Ahmed.
He says to the bartender: "One whisky on the rocks, and a vodka chaser." The other two glare at him, and he shrugs.
"What? This is my day off."
My other reaction was this one:
This is Just to Say
I have befriended
the soldier
who cursed
our leader
and whom
I should probably
have shot
for being the enemy
Forgive me
he was my brother
so strange
and WATCH OUT FOR THAT BUS!
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar.
Two minutes later they walk out of the bar.
"Awful coffee," says Muqtada.
"They played terrible music," says Abu Musab.
Ahmed nods. "And did you notice how rude the bartender was before we shot him?"
Is it wrong of me to hear the last line of #76 to the tune of the George of the Jungle opening song?
When I heard the joke in #74 from Worsel it went "Kimball Kinnison is a zwilnik!" because, you know, he was
Muqtada al-Sadr, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and Ahmed Chalabi walk into a bar. The bartender, who happens to be djinn in disguise, says "Because the three of you represent the future of Islam, you may each ask for the one thing that is your heart's desire and I will tell you how to attain it."
Al-Sadr says. "I want the Americans to leave Iraq, never to return," and the bartender replies, "I do not need to do anything, for this will come to pass of itself."
Al-Zarqawi says, "I want to see Iraq whole and strong and under the rule of Shari'a administered by imams of the Sunni sect." The bartender puts a hookah on the bar and says, "Smoke this. It's the only way you will ever see what you wish for."
Chalabi says, "I want to be remembered by history with the respect accorded to a great statesman." The bartender says to Al-Zarqawi, "Give him the hookah, he needs it more than you."
Alternate ending:
Chalabi says, "I want to restore my standing with the American intelligence and neo-conservative communities and once again be given a high position in a Shi'ite goverment." The bartender says, "No problem; just tell George Bush there are weapons of mass destruction in Iran. After the invasion, he'll make you President there."
Bruce Cohen, You're almost certainly right and it would have been "Helmuth is a third-rate Space Pirate" if I could remember jokes from the future properly.
Going back and forth with abi makes it look like a competition, which it isn't*, but still:
Two guys united
By contempt for their leaders
(Also by a bus)
* mainly because I'm losing
#s 76 and 80 just about killed me.
Actually, I've already heard that joke updated for Iran.
Substitute Osama bin Laden and Hilary Clinton, and toss in some dress/gender identity jokes. Then substitute a truck for an IED.

Is Madlock dropping hints of a very first album through an Instagram post?
Rumours are in; sources have claimed that Madlock, the alternative rock band from Lahore, Punjab, is currently working on an 'album', set to release in a yet to be disclosed date in 2017.
There has been no information regarding what the sound will be like, but it is safe to make a few guesses, maybe a recent post from the vocalist's Instagram is a hint?
The frontman was recently spotted at Levi's Live Session 4 alongside Danyal Zafar, Farhad Hamayun & Momina Mustehsan and also at Lahore Music Meet '17 singing old classics and a few requests from the audience!
There has been no word from the band for quite a long time, and perhaps the album release has been the real reason behind it.
'All I can confirm at the moment is that I plan to put something out before the middle of summer this year.' Mehroze says in a short interview at LUMS after Madlock's performance opening for Ali Azmat.
Mehroze further mentioned to Daily Pakistan that Sarmad Ghafoor (ex-Qiyaas member) would be recording their album.
The band's musical style has always largely been showcased to be influenced by a lot of the artists which were part of the grunge movement in the nineties. Based on Gilani's imagery of the band which has been put forward, it is safe to say he is a big fan of the seattle sound and alternative rock in general.
Mehroze Gilani, band leader, founded the band in early 2015. In the past year, the band has opened for a variety of big names at concerts. The rock trio plays their original songs without dropping any hints and without giving any song titles.

Have you noticed how John Kerry has now started using the term DAESH instead of ISIS because we all know that ISIS is neither Islamic nor a state. Just because they are a country about the size of Italy and everything they do they justify by quotes from the Quran and their leader is an Islamic scholar and an imam who is called the Caliph and the country itself is called the caliphate. There is nothing Islamic there is there. So let's stop calling them ISIS and just call them violent extremists.

Rest assured, most of the country has no idea what he's talking about when he says Daesh.
dragonfFIRE01 says
then i'm an islamophobe i also believe that Donald Trump is the only one who can turn this country around
vigiloz says
Yo hillary clinton just call it "islamic" terrorists.how hard is that??qhat are hidasists?? Jedi council??
Michael Copeland says
These "jihadists", Mrs. C., have this notion that jihad is part of their religion?
But but but, as we know, this is perverted, hi-jacked, twisted, misunderstood.
Yes? No?
What does their book say?
Jihad is "to war against non-muslims", a "communal obligation"
(Manual of Islamic Law, "Reliance of the Traveller" o9.0).
It is not dependent on a wish to do it. It is INSTRUCTED:
"Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you", Koran 2:216.
What was that about "purposes of power and oppression"?
"Fight them and kill them until all the governance is Islam", Koran 8:39.
No choice is available:
"It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision", Koran 33:36.
The Koran is part of Islamic law.
One who denies any verse has to be killed. The killing can be performed, penalty-free and vigilante style, by anyone "since it is killing someone who deserves to die" (Manual of Islamic Law, "Reliance of the Traveller" o8.7(7), o8.4. The Manual is available as a free download).
It is becoming clearer now, Mrs. C. .
Michael Copeland says
Interesting. Hillary Clinton said:
"We are at war with jihadists."
Buddhist jihadists? Wesleyan jihadists?
"We are at war with people who use their religion for purposes of power and oppression….. "
And what might that religion be, Mrs. Clinton?
sweetolbob says
Traditionally, the Vice president of the United States has had no job. Like Al Grope – uh – Gore, all he does is vote in case of a tie, and like Al Grope – uh – Gore, he will vote as a partisan.
If Trump is elected, Cruz needs a solid Cabinet position where he can put his stuff to use. Like Attorney General, where he can hunt down and prosecute criminals like Hitlery.
ronyvo says
I keep wondering, are Democrats Americans?! If yes, then why on earth they are so blind & ignorant? Is this something to do with the party? I mean. does the party accept only those members who are not capable of thinking. I am serious. I just cannot get it. All what is happening and still they are not with it.
Musthava dump says
Trump sounds good to me!
BLR says
Trump names Ted Cruz as possible VP says they are a team in thoughts for where they would steer this country a great Xmas present for the country … obama is close to cracking we got to keep the pressure on him my guess he will step down after he declares his muslim faith just before we finally gather enough real Americans to impeach
BareNakedIslam says
amboyduke says
I've read on some websites he's close to a nervous breakdown…{?}
However, no absolute proof.
BareNakedIslam says
Who is?
amboyduke says
"obama is close to cracking we got to keep the pressure on him my guess he will step down after he declares his muslim faith just before we finally gather enough real Americans to impeach"
Some say {?} Obama is close to a nervous breakdown…
no proof…
but the pressure on the SOB to keep defending islam when all this crap is happening might be getting to him.
BareNakedIslam says
Amboy, I think he is very happy with what's going on. After all, he helped enable the crisis.
flame says
fame, I deleted your comment because you accused Ted Cruz of something and provided no proof. –BNI

As we all know so well, this year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, which is being commemorated all over the world. No book could better illustrate his influence than this month's top pick Shakespeare in Swahililand: adventures with the ever-living poet. Also featured are two volumes of New Zealand poetry, a book on the importance of reading even when time-pressed, and two graduation speeches which attracted world-wide attention.
Shakespeare in Swahililand : adventures with the ever-living poet / Edward Wilson-Lee.
"Shakespeare in Swahihiland explores the Bard's global legacy like no other book before it. In these pages explorers stagger through Africa's interior accompanied by Shakespeare; eccentrics live out their dreams on the African savannah with Shakespeare by their side; decadent emigres, railway labourers, Indian settler communities, all turned to Shakespeare and adapted his plays to fit their needs. The book examines how Shakespeare influenced the first African leaders of independent nations, Cold War intrigues and even Che Guevara." (Syndetics summary)
Poems that make grown women cry / edited by Anthony and Ben Holden.
"Following the success of their anthology Poems That Make Grown Men Cry, father-and-son team Anthony and Ben Holden, working with Amnesty International, have asked the same revealing question of 100 remarkable women. What poem has moved you to tears? The poems chosen range from the eighth century to today, from Rumi and Shakespeare to Sylvia Plath, W.H. Auden to Carol Ann Duffy, Pablo Neruda and Derek Walcott to Imtiaz Dharker and Warsan Shire. Their themes range from love and loss, through mortality and mystery, war and peace, to the beauty and variety of nature." (Syndetics summary)
Pleasures of nature : a literary anthology / selected by Christina Hardyment.
"From Leonardo da Vinci on the shifting colors of the sky to Charlotte Brontë on the wild moors of Yorkshire, and from DH Lawrence inhabiting the mind of the indomitable tortoise to the intrepid Isabella Bird climbing a Hawaiian volcano, the anthology showcases many voices–lyrical, awestruck, often deeply reflective. The texts gathered here, many accompanied by rarely seen artwork from early editions, are all grounded in close observation and real love of the landscape, and reveal the tradition of nature writing to be deep-rooted and infinitely varied." (Syndetics summary)
The Penguin book of English song : seven centuries of poetry from Chaucer to Auden / Richard Stokes.
"The Penguin Book of English Song anthologizes the work of 100 English poets who have inspired a host of different composers (some English, some not) to write vocal music. Each of the chapters, arranged chronologically from Chaucer to Auden, opens with a precis of the poet's life, work and, often, approach to music. Richard Stokes's notes and commentaries constantly illuminate the language and themes of the poems and their settings in unexpected ways. An awareness of how Ben Jonson based his famous poem 'Drinke to me, only, with thine eyes' on a Greek original, for example, increases our enjoyment of both the poem and the traditional song." (Syndetics summary)
The year of reading dangerously : how fifty great books (and two not-so-great ones) saved my life / Andy Miller.
"A working father whose life no longer feels like his own discovers the transforming powers of great (and downright terrible) literature in this laugh-out-loud memoir. Andy Miller had a job he quite liked, a family he loved and no time at all for reading. Or so he kept telling himself. But, no matter how busy or tired he was, something kept niggling at him. Books. Books he'd always wanted to read. Books he'd said he'd read, when he hadn't. Books that whispered the promise of escape from the 6.44." (Syndetics summary)
This change in the light : a collection of poems / Fiona Kidman.
"Fiona Kidman's exquisite and adroit poetry invites the reader into her life, introducing us to her family, friends and places she has loved. In turn it touches our own experiences, offering universal relevance and insight." (Publisher information)
Show me a story! : why picture books matter : conversations with 21 of the world's most celebrated illustrators / compiled and edited by Leonard S. Marcus ; with a foreword by David Wiesner.
"In compelling interviews by the acclaimed Leonard S. Marcus, twenty-one top authors and illustrators reveal their inside stories on the art of creating picture books. Max and Mickey; Miss Nelson; Pack, Quack, and Mrs. Mallard; Pigeon; Sylvester; John Henry; and a very hungry caterpillar — these are just a few of the beloved picture book characters discussed in Show Me a Story." (Syndetics summary)
And so it is : new poems / Vincent O'Sullivan.
"Hot on the heels of Being Here, O'Sullivan's capacious selected poems, which many chose as one of the poetry highlights of the year, comes a collection of 75 new poems. They show a mature poet, full of experience, still with the capacity to dazzle." (Syndetics summary)
And two inspirational speeches:
Very good lives : the fringe benefits of failure and the importance of imagination / J. K. Rowling.
"In 2008, J.K. Rowling delivered a deeply affecting commencement speech at Harvard University. Now published for the first time in book form, VERY GOOD LIVES presents J.K. Rowling's words of wisdom for anyone at a turning point in life. How can we embrace failure? And how can we use our imagination to better both ourselves and others? Drawing from stories of her own post-graduate years, the world famous author addresses some of life's most important questions with acuity and emotional force." (Syndetics summary)
Now go out there (and get curious) / Mary Karr.
""Being smart and rich are lucky, but being curious & compassionate will save your ass." Every year there are one or two commencement speeches that strike a chord with audiences far greater than the student bodies for which they are intended. In 2015 Mary Karr's speech to the graduating class of Syracuse University caught fire, hailed across the Internet as one of the most memorable in recent years, and lighting up the Twittersphere." (Syndetics summary)

UPEACE Celebrates International Peace Day 2013
Location: Campus Rodrigo Carazo Odio.
In light of the official United Nations theme for this year's International Day of Peace on "Education for Peace", Peace Education Masters Candidates took a leading role in coordinating the student event to celebrate this Day at the University for Peace (UPEACE)campus.
Every year, International Peace Day is celebrated around the world. The United Nations declared 21 September a day to strengthen the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.
In his message, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said: "On this International Day of Peace, let us pledge to teach our children the value of tolerance and mutual respect. Let us invest in the schools and teachers that will build a fair and inclusive world that embraces diversity. Let us fight for peace and defend it with all our might."
The opening speech of the celebration of the International Day of Peace at UPEACE highlited the establishment of this Day by the U.N and invited all students and participants to reflect about peace, ceasefire and non-violence all over the world.
Elementary students from the local school in El Rodeo were invited to participate in this celebration and to share with the UPEACE multicultural-student body, by creating artistic lanterns made out of recycled glass jars and paper maché flowers with messages of peace, while dancing and singing to music. "It was heartwarming; a beautiful occasion to participate with children of the community. Certainly it was a great demonstration of peace within a multicultural setting," expressed Marie-France Vary, International Law and Human Rights Masters candidate.
In spite of the rain, students carried messages of peace on their ceremonial walk from the University campus, located in El Rodeo, to the center of Ciudad Colon; a distance of about 7 km. During the final candle-light vigil, the mayor of Ciudad Colon, Mr. Gilberto Monge emphasized the importance of the International Day of Peace, and also called upon the crowd to stand in a moment of silence to honor the victims of conflict around the world and to pray for peace.
As Naved Ali, Responsible Management and Sustainable Economic Development Masters candidate said, "Peace is everything that we strive for. It is the ultimate goal".

I figured out why the Flex example from my last post was loading sporadically. It had to do with the domain you were on when you clicked the link to it.
Flex is irritatingly simple.
I'm not saying Flex is easy, it's simple. I started going through the lessons that ship with Flex Builder 2 and as I finished each one my reaction was consistently, "is that all?"

PREPS: OSAA likely to tweak leagues, classifications
For most Portland high schools, the future looks status quo as the Oregon School Activities Association gets closer to establishing new classifications and districts for 2018-22:
• The Portland Interscholastic League will remain intact and playing at the highest level (except possibly in football).
• Jesuit isn't going anywhere except the Metro League.
• St. Mary's Academy seems likely to stay in the Three Rivers League.
• Central Catholic is ticketed for either the Mt. Hood Conference or TRL.
• La Salle Prep and Parkrose, under an OSAA committee's latest proposal, would stay in the Northwest Oregon Conference. Tentatively slated to join them in the NWOC are Gladstone, Milwaukie, Putnam, Scappoose and St. Helens.
• Some 3A Portland schools may see changes in league competition — especially if the proposal is adopted that would put much larger North Marion and/or Estacada into the Lewis & Clark League, with Rainier among those moving elsewhere.
• Portland Christian appears headed back down one notch to the 2A Northwest League, based on its enrollment figures.
All in all, though, no big individual school upheavals are in the works locally, even though the OSAA Classification and District Committee favors going with five classes instead of the current six — while possibly creating a special six-classification format for football only.
The six-class football idea has had two proposals to date.
Both would have eight of the nine PIL teams playing at 5A — with Lincoln at 6A and in a league with Lake Oswego, Lakeridge, Oregon City, Tigard, Tualatin and West Linn.
One of the 5A football leagues in a special, six-classification breakdown would have, as currently drawn up, the PIL's Benson, Cleveland, Franklin, Grant, Jefferson, Madison, Roosevelt and Wilson aligned with Forest Grove and St. Helens — but this is very preliminary.
School officials and others may continue to give input and submit requests to the OSAA in the coming months.
In September, the committee will send its final classification and districting recommendation to the OSAA Executive Board for an Oct. 16 vote.
If a five-class set-up (with or without six classes for football) is approved— as seems likely — the OSAA State Championship Committee then would have to decide on the number of championships in each sport. For example, would 3A-2A-1A play together in soccer, golf, tennis and other activities?
But first comes the nailing down of the new leagues at each classification, whether there are five or six.
"Now we get down to the nitty gritty of league alignments and which schools are in what leagues," says Peter Weber, OSAA executive director.
As for Central Catholic, the OSAA committee tentatively has the Rams in either a seven-team MHC (with Barlow, Centennial, Clackamas, David Douglas, Gresham and Oregon City — the same as now, minus Reynolds) or in a nine-team TRL (with Clackamas, Lake Oswego, Lakeridge, Oregon City, Saint Mary's, Tigard, Tualatin and West Linn).
Other schools can go in more than one direction, too — and perhaps the biggest and seemingly inevitable quandary is what to do with Hermiston.
The options for Hermiston, which would be in the new 5A (largest) level include going west and into the MHC, or joining a proposed new Inter County Conference (with Bend, Summit, Mountain View, Hood River Valley, Sandy and Reynolds, as proposed) — or leaving the OSAA to compete in a Washington league.
Central Catholic athletic director Laura Jaeger says the school would make any move work — be that shifting to the Three Rivers League or having Hermiston as a fellow member of the Mt. Hood Conference — but there would be some issues for the Rams.
"If Hermiston comes into the Mt. Hood and we're still in it, we're not thrilled about that, but we're also willing to accept it's our lot in life, and we'd make it work," Jaeger says. "We're worried about academics and that our kids aren't missing too much school because of travel, and in the winter, especially, it's not always easy traveling through the Columbia Gorge."
Playing in the TRL would mean more local travel for Central Catholic and others in that league. Anyone who gets around, or tries to, between the city and suburbs knows how time-consuming and even iffy that can be.
"The proposed TRL is a very strong league — it would be highly competitive — but that's fine with us," Jaeger says. "We're just not crazy about the travel on I-205 these days. I'd prefer to travel out I-84. If we were in the TRL, we'd have to get our kids out of school earlier (for sports) than we do now."
Another thing to consider regarding Central Catholic, when it comes to possibly being in the TRL instead of the MHC, is home fields. The Rams have most of their home activities some distance away, such as Delta Park for softball, and Mt. Hood Community College for tennis and possibly swimming in the future. Central Catholic uses various venues in East Portland or East Country for baseball, golf and other sports. And, Rams football home games are at Hillsboro Stadium.
"Three Rivers League schools would have pretty far to go," Jaeger says.
One more issue still up for discussion with the OSAA committee and throughout Oregon is what the cutoff point will be for each classification.
As of now, the new 5A would be for schools with adjusted enrollment of 1,165 and more. Class 4A would be for schools from 545 to 1,164. Class 3A would be 217 to 544, and 2A schools would range from 90 to 216 (with some exceptions, such as the PIL, which plans to keep all its schools at the highest level).
Any tweaks to those numbers in the remaining months could affect the makeup of leagues and rivalries, as well.

Measuring just 24 feet by 18 feet (8x6 metres), the Little White Church or Evangelical Lutheran Church is not found in Germany, but in the tiny village of Elbe near Seattle. Claimed by Ripley's Believe It or Not to be the smallest church in the USA, (though this is heavily disputed), the church continues to conduct monthly services. Capable of seating 46 churchgoers and built in 1906 by German settlers, the church is set on a backdrop of towering trees and continues to carry its German signage. The elegant steeple stands 46 feet high and contains a bell taken from an early train.

Whether it is the smallest or, not really depends on how you look at it doesn't it?

I love taking and looking at pictures of religious architecture and symbols. Although I'm not religious myself it's interesting to see the reflections of faith in buildings and art.

i like small churches, I got married in one that although a little bigger than this just fitted our guests perfectly, without us feeling it was half empty.

Wonder what they do when a member of the congregation gets married? I have visions of outside video screens and loudspeakers set up in the surrounding forest to accommodate the guests who can't fit inside.

Ohh, that is so cute. There is a small Spanish-style chapel in Tucson that used to be a consecrated Catholic church but is now used for community purposes. My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniv. there many years ago and our son and wife got married there. If anybody is looking, it is in the old Ft. Lowell district.

@Dave: Size does depend on how you look at it.
@anil: I am very similar to you.
@heather: I'm glad that I could bring back such memories of your wedding.
@transfer smart: This little church had a truly solemn feel about it.

@sherry: And everyone would know each other too, I suspect...
@vacation deals: I discovered it by accident just driving along.
@BarbaraW: I guess they either invite very few guests or host the wedding somewhere else.

Application Forms
How do I apply?
All applications are completed online:
Master of Clinical Psychology (MCP) (LC065) Course Code: MACLIPSY1000; CRICOS Code: 082878M
Master of Clinical Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy (MCP/PhD) (LC066) Course Code: MACLPPHD1000; CRICOS Code: 082918G
What additional application forms are required?
Supplementary form
Referee report form
Can I complete the application forms prior to July?
Online applications open in July each year. Application forms are reviewed and updated by the CPU, Faculty of Science and the University by July each year. Supplementary and referee reports are not available until July each year. Prior to this the application forms are under review and will change. Application forms available from the website prior to this are intended as a guide only. Application forms are published on the website as soon as available. Please note a complete application includes the online application form, supplementary form, two referee report forms and supporting documentation. An application cannot be evaluated until it is complete.
Can I use last year's application forms to apply this year?
No. Previous years forms will be inaccurate and out of date. As the application forms generally only change slightly from year to year, you may get an idea of the content of the form and prepare responses based on the previous year's forms. Once updated forms are released you may submit your application.
I applied last year. Do I need to fill out all the application forms again?
Yes. If you applied in previous years, you still need to re-complete ALL the new application forms for the current year. Your application for this year will not be considered from using last year's application forms. After a certain period, all unsuccessful application forms are destroyed.
What information will my referee be asked to provide on the referee report form?
The referee report form is a standardised form which includes:
- One-page form divided into three sections
- Level of support for the candidate's application
- Strengths and weakness ratings
- Paragraph to justify level of support and ratings
Do I need to submit two Referee Reports - academic or professional?
Applicants are required to submit two referee reports. One referee report must be academic and the other related to relevant work experience (if applicable). The referee must be familiar with your work and be able to comment on your professional competencies. Work experience is a desirable admission requirement, not an essential admission requirement. At least one referee report must be academic. If you have not completed relevant work experience you may submit two academic referee reports. It is a minimum admission requirement to submit at least one academic referee report therefore you can not submit only two work experience referee reports. Also as an example, if your academic record was completed over 10 years ago and you have trouble obtaining your academic referee report, submit a cover letter explaining your circumstances, and include a referee report from someone who is able to comment upon your written work, e.g. research involvement, publishing of articles, or consultancy work.
What is an academic referee?
It is a requirement to submit at least one academic referee report. An academic referee must be someone who can comment on your academic and writing abilities, such as your course coordinator, Honours coordinator or lecturer.
Should I submit an academic referee report from my Honours supervisor or my employer who is an academic?
Please submit an academic referee report from your Honours supervisor. Whilst your employer may be a university academic and able to comment on both your research and professional abilities, they may not be able to comment directly on your university coursework. If employed in a research assistant position, this would be considered a work experience referee.
Can I submit a work experience referee report from volunteer work experience?
If your volunteer work experience is of a clinical or clinical research nature, you may use this to obtain a work experience referee report. However, if your volunteer work does not have clinical or clinical research content, you will not be able to include it in your application. In such a case, you would be advised to find a second academic referee report.
I can't save changes to forms!
Adobe Acrobat Professional is required to save electronic changes to the forms. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Pro you may electronically complete the form, print, scan and email directly to firstname.lastname@example.com. Otherwise print and post the completed form directly to: MCP MCP/PhD Applications, Science Admissions Office, Level 4, Jane Foss Russell Building (G02), The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia.
Can I submit completed referee report forms for my referee?
No. The applicant can not send the referee reports on behalf of the referee. The referee report form must be submitted directly from the referee's official email address to firstname.lastname@example.com. Referee reports must be confidential, unbiased and not viewed by the applicant. Referee reports submitted by applicants will not be accepted as they do not follow confidentiality procedures. If an applicant submits a referee report, it is no longer confidential and the applicant will be asked to provide a new referee report.
What is my application number?
Students who commence an application at the University of Sydney are given an IPU number or username. Once you submit your application you are given an Applicant ID number which will be your Student ID number e.g. 43xxxxxxx. Record your Applicant ID number on supplementary and referee report forms. If you have previously been enrolled at the University of Sydney you may record your SID number.
How do I complete the Tertiary qualifications section for APAC?
Check the APAC website. Indicate if your qualification has or has not been accredited by APAC as a 3, 4 or 5 year qualification.
How do I complete the Tertiary qualifications section for APS?
If your qualification was completed in Australia, tick N/A.
If your qualification was completed at a non-Australian University and has not been assessed by the APS, tick N/A.
If your qualification was completed at a non-Australian University and has been assessed by the APS, tick whether it was assessed to be equivalent to an Australian 3, 4 or 5 year sequence of study.
What documents do I upload to my application?
"Transcripts Grading System.pdf" - Complete official academic transcripts with grading system if applicable
"Testamur.pdf" - Testamur or proof of completion (stating degree awarded and date of completion),
"Honours grade.pdf" - Evidence of both Honours class AND grade (eg. First class honours, 86%),
"English translations.pdf" - Certified english translation of documents (if applicable)
"Research thesis.pdf" - Evidence of completion of major research project and thesis
"APS assessment.pdf" - Australian Psychological Society (APS) assessment letter (if applicable)
"English proficiency.pdf" - Evidence of english proficiency (IELTS) (if applicable), Official documentation that studies were conducted in English if not completed in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa, UK or USA.

How can I upload additional documents to my application?
Once an application has been submitted applicants are unable to upload further documents. The Admissions Office will email applicants requesting any missing documents to be to uploaded. The Student will then have access to upload documents. Alternatively, you may email the documents to the Science Admissions Office to upload on your behalf.
Is there a limit to the number of documents I can upload to my online application?
Adobe Acrobat Professional allows combining or merging of multiple PDF files into one single file to be uploaded to your application. Alternatively, if you are unable to upload further documents you may email the documents to the Science Admissions Office to upload on your behalf. Collating and naming your files, where appropriate, assists in the evaluation of your application - "Academic transcripts.pdf", "Research thesis.pdf", "APS assessment.pdf", "English proficiency.pdf", "Passport.pdf", "Supplementary form.pdf".
Do I need to provide evidence of completion of major research project and thesis?
Honours degrees completed in Australia include a major research project and thesis and generally do not require evidence of research completion. In particular, for non-Australian degrees or post graduate diplomas, or if it is not clear from your academic transcript, please upload a simple document providing the degree name, thesis title and thesis abstract, including information on methods used and whether the project was theoretical or conducted with methods consistent with an Australian fourth year Honours degree.
I can't access my portal.
If you experience any technical issues, i.e. forgetting your password, or not being able to access the portal with a password, please contact the ICT Helpdesk on 02 9351 2000 (select option 2) or email them on email@example.com
I am having difficulties uploading documents.
The System will only allow one file name uploaded per section (if you have a document that has two pages and has saved them separately you will need to merge them under one file name or upload the second page to a different section.)
If you experience any difficulty uploading documents please email the documents to us at the Admissions Office including your full name and application ID number who will upload these documents for you.
I want to add some additional documents to my application, how can I do this?
Please email the documents including your full name and application ID number to the Admissions Office email@example.com who will upload these documents for you.
How do I track my applications?
To track your application please log in to the Sydney Student Portal via https://sydneystudent.sydney.edu.au/sitsvision/wrd/siw_lgn (do not use Internet Explorer version 6 to access the portal). Please enter your applicant ID (SID or IPU number) and your password.

I recently submitted an application, the fee type on my application shows "Fee-Paying place" but I wanted to apply for CSP. What do I need to do?
Nothing – the system automatically defaults all applicants to "Fee-Paying", it will be the Faculty who decides if the place is Fee Paying or CSP.
Is it important for me to check my email?
Yes! All correspondence with the University will be by email. Please ensure that you include your correct email address in your application which you can use to receive mail.
Some email messages/attachments may not be accepted or may be flagged as spam by some email providers (e.g. Hotmail or Gmail). Applicants are advised to check their spam and junk mail folder regularly.
Do I apply separately for preferences?
We strongly recommend that you lodge separate applications for 2nd and 3rd preferences. As these courses will only be considered once the 1st preference has been rejected. To avoid missing any deadlines, please submit a separate application for these courses.
The exception to this would be if you are applying for the combined degree of MCP/PhD. When applying for the MCP/PhD, there are four possible outcomes:
1. That you will be accepted into the MCP/PhD, having satisfied all requirements for entry for the MCP as well as the PhD.
2. That you will be accepted into the MCP only, having satisfied all the requirements of the MCP but not the PhD.
3. That you will be accepted into the PhD only, having satisfied the requirements of the PhD but not the MCP.
4. That you are not accepted into either of these programs for the next enrolment, however you are welcome to reapply in the future.
I have received a conditional offer, how do I upload the outstanding documents?
Please email the documents to the Admissions firstname.lastname@example.com who will upload these documents for you.
Are original or certified copies of documents required?
Please note that you may be requested to present the original documents for verification by the Faculty. If you wish to submit originals they must be submitted to:
The Admissions Office, Level 4, Jane Foss Russell Building (G02), University of Sydney NSW 2006
The University of Sydney accepts scanned documents submitted online in support of applications for admission to courses of study. All supporting documents must be true and complete records. You should be prepared to provide original documents or original certified copies of supporting documents upon request at any time. We carry out detailed checks on applications before and after enrolment and our checks involve contacting the original issuing authority or relevant tertiary admissions centre, or other organisation (whether education or otherwise), or individual, whether in Australia or overseas, to verify documents. A failure to provide documents on request, or the discovery of either fraudulent documents or a misrepresentation of true circumstances in association with your application, may lead to the rejection of your application for admission, the withdrawal of your offer, or the cancellation of your enrolment.
Documents submitted in a language other than English must be accompanied by a complete English translation. The University accepts translations to English made by an accredited translator with a government body, the Registrar of the issuing institution or, for international applicants, registered University of Sydney education agents who have been designated as translators.

|Title of Story
|Relationship between health Centre and community.
|Name of storyteller
|Kasaija Josua
|Kidubuli Health Centre III
|Occupation of story teller
|Community member
|Period of change
|Date of recording
|21st June 2017

|Kwesiga James
The story
I am a community member aged 39 years old; I live near Kidubuli Health center III. The staff at this health used to be so tough, rude and many times abuse patients who came to seek health services. Some community members started hating the health centre staff-and the health unit in general. Many resorted to local herbs and those who had money always went to the private clinics, which of course are expensive.
This begun to change when a member of staff from KRC came and mobilized the VHTs, community members and their chairpersons from villages of Kidubuli, Kyatambasi and Nsaho. Many community members came and we discussed the issues affecting us at the health centre. We discussed about staff conduct at our health centre. Another meeting was also organized where the health centre staff and a HUMC member was present and we discussed many issues which also included health centre staff conduct and limited drugs. We kept observing the conducts of HC staff towards patients changing positively.
As am now telling you this, when we discussed the issue of drugs the in-charge was investigated and found to be stealing drugs, he was arrested and taken away and now at least many times we find drugs at the Health centre and community members are so happy.
This story is significant to me because the action that community took brought positive change at the facility, drugs are there and also improved relationship between health center staff and community members.

Hey guys!!
Welcome back! This is the second edition of ImuGifts Official Newsletter and I'm very pleased to bring up some new updates, including what went down at the Wreckerly Park Fair, what's cookin' with ImuGifts and Custom Projects.
The Wreckerly Park Craft Fair as mentioned in my prior post was my first Fair ever! And it was quite an interesting day to say the least lol. It was a very nerve wracking and there seemed to be a million obstacles that day from super high winds and a cold day to sneaky competitors luring customers away with mini cupcakes. Yes you read right there was a customer thief! Lol…but no matter, it turned out to be a great first fair, lots of people came out to support and give me some love. It was awesome. I learned a lot and I'm ready for my next! Which, btw is actually already scheduled! Catch me at the Riverhead Charter School Winter Craft Fair on December 5th, and don't forget to bring a Non-Perishable item for the Food Drive.
On other news, I have been hard at work on opening our Etsy Shop. I had started with it a while ago, but just couldn't really get the hang of it and now I am giving it another shot and hopefully it will be up and running by Thanksgiving. Also in the works are new products made especially for the Holiday Season, new Jewelry, Clutches and some special home decor. So stay tuned on social media to get up to date information on ImuGifts' Etsy Shop and other special things I have set for this Holiday Season.
Also, as a reminder, just because it's not posted on Imugifts.com doesn't mean I can't work with you to make something fabulous! Let me know if there is something you are interested in that I can custom make for you. I'll be happy to set up a consultation with you either in person or via Skype and work with you to make a one of a kind gift.
Thank you again for staying up to date with ImuGifts and following me on this journey!
Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving!

Conan Hyborian Quests Game Set For January Launch!
December 10, 2014 by brennon
In keeping with the theme of games featuring great artists and indeed Adrian Smith once again it's great that the Conan: Hyborian Quests Kickstarter has been set for January!
As you can see the game is going to be hitting Kickstarter very soon in the New Year which sounds about right if you have some extra Christmas money or gifts you can cash in to get on board with this one. Work seems to be going very well with the project as well with some more nice artwork for the tiles...
The Ship Tile above gives me some hope for rather cinematic adventures and plenty of leaping around the game space as the mighty Conan and his heroes. Giving you a look at the game the folks at TricTrac have filmed a big demo game (in French) for you to watch.
They have also filmed one in English and it will be out soon but in the mean time just give the video a watch as it is and you'll see how cool all of the characters are looking and at this early stage. Apparently there is a 'games master' of sorts called the Overlord in this game rather than their being an A.I deck but I'm totally ok with that.
What do you think?

Here I go again, piling on the ineptitude of the Redskins' Special Teams/Kicking Game/Danny Smith. Another week, another Redskins loss marred by an absolute momentum killing, 31 yard field goal attempt that was missed by soon to be ex-kicker Billy Cundiff. Even worse than an NFL kicker missing another chippy that 70% of high school kids could make in their sleep, were Cundiff's post game comments. (courtesy of CSN's Rich Tandler)
"You look at the final score and obviously, even if I would've made that field goal we still would've needed 4 more points," he said.
That's the attitude, Billy. Deflect your ineptitude by showing everyone that you at least excel at 3rd grade math. Enjoy the pink slip that will be in your locker this morning.
But since Mr. Cundiff opted to go basic math on us, I figured I'd point out the Redskins' kicking game since releasing Shaun Suisham back in December of 2009. You might remember his release. He missed a 23 yard chippy in regulation, that most likely would've led to a win against the undefeated New Orleans Saints. The game eventually went into Overtime, and you know how that movie ended.
However, prior to being released, Suisham had made 17 of 20 field goals. That's not awful, and its certainly not the dreadful pace that Cundiff is on for this season. So for the sake of my argument, I've posted some numbers below:
The Redskins Post-Releasing Shaun Suisham Kicking Game*
2010 (Gano) 24/35
2011 (Gano) 31/41
2012 (Cundiff) 7/12
Total 62/88 (70.4%)
Shaun Suisham Since Being Released by Washington*
2010 14/15
2011 23/31
2012 8/8
Total 45/54 (83.3%)
*Not accounting for the final 4 games of 2009
So I would ask you this, Redskin fan. What is more disturbing- this success rate differential since cutting Shaun Suisham, or the fact that someone within the Redskins organization (this year) cut Graham Gano in the 11th hour of training camp, to go out and sign Billy Cundiff, whose last kick prior to being signed was a 32 yard miss in the AFC Championship Game that would've forced overtime?

I'm Not a Math Major, but an 83.3% Success Rate is Better Than a 70.4% One
